What is it?
A series of facilitated conversations for and by non-Indigenous people to reflect on privilege, allyship and structural racism. To work in effective allyship, non-Indigenous people have been asked to reflect on our understanding and attitude surrounding significant events impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and our own beliefs and values – privilege, structural racism and cultural bias.
It is only when we have some knowledge and critique of our own dominant culture and its systemic racism, and our own ingrained and often unacknowledged privileges that we can go with open hearts and minds to find ways to work with and support First Nations people.
